Kesariya Nargis Pure Chanderi Silk Saree by Bloc a Main Atelier

Kesariya Nargis

Fabric & Colour
A luminous Pure Chanderi Silk Saree in glowing shades of orange, pink, and gold, enriched with delicate floral zari motifs that glimmer across its gossamer texture. The interplay of warm tones with shimmering metallics makes this saree radiant and festive.

Inspiration Story
Kesariya Nargis celebrates the brilliance of saffron (kesariya) and the elegance of the narcissus flower (nargis). Together, they symbolize vitality, renewal, and grace. The saree evokes the spirit of springtime in royal gardens—orange for sunrise, pink for blossoming love, and gold for divine blessings. Draping it feels like stepping into a courtyard of flowers kissed by the morning sun, where fragrance and colour meet in harmony. This creation is a poetic ode to femininity—strong, radiant, and endlessly graceful.

Weave Technique & Craft Details
Handwoven in the time-honoured Chanderi weaving tradition, this saree blends silk yarns with zari to create a fabric that is both light and lustrous. Each floral motif (buti) is painstakingly inserted by hand, requiring precision to maintain its symmetry across the length of the drape. The shimmering borders and body together embody the hallmark of Chanderi artistry: sheer delicacy balanced with rich opulence. A textile that has graced courts and temples alike, Chanderi weaving remains one of India’s most treasured legacies.
